Since the launch of the LEGO Batman-themed series in 2006, as long as you name a vehicle in the show, there will definitely be many versions of Lego bricks, such as Batmobile, Batwing, Batsubmarine, Batrocket... In addition, the bat cave is also true.
In DC's story, Batman's Batcaves are found in every area of Gotham City, and even in major cities in various countries and on the moon. But when we usually say Batcave, we mean Batman's base camp located below Wayne Manor.
The LEGO Group has also released a variety of bat caves in its sets, most of which are remastered from the original 2006 bat cave set (except for a few sets). Almost all LEGO Bathole sets share a common feature – the platform in the middle has a distinct central computer and two building modules on each side.
But do you know how many LEGO Batman-related sets have been released? Read on.
10545 Bat Cave Expedition
The DUPLO series also featured the Batcave set, the first DUPLO version of the Batcave from the LEGO Group. Launched in 2014, this set contains 59 parts and 2 DUPLO minifigures. However, the model in the suit looks more like a playground than a Batcave, and the bright color combination is not at all the style of "The Dark Knight Batman". But the batwing in the suit is an interesting giant mold opening part.
10919 Batcave Batman Capture Operation
This 2020 DUPLO series Batcave set is over 2 years old in terms of recommended age, and compared to the previous DUPLO Batcave set, this one is at least closer to the real Batcave in terms of color scheme, using a black color scheme instead of iridescent colors. Also the separately molded Batmobile parts look cute.
10842 Bat Cave Grand Challenge
This set, which was released in 2017, is larger than the previous DUPLO series Batcave set, and has more details. The three main characters of Batman, Robin, and the Joker all appear here - but still DUPLO figures. The suit includes a Batmobile and a Batmobile, as well as a cannon that can be used.
10753 Joker Bat Cave attack
In addition to the DUPLO series that has been out of the Batcave, the LEGO Juniors Juniors series also has related Batcave sets. Launched in 2018, this set contains 151 parts and 3 minifigures. The bat cave looks a lot like that, including a small central computer and a small cell. Batwing doesn't look good, but Batman, Joker, and Robin's minifigures are not bad.
10672 Batman's defense of the Batcave
This is another teen series Batcave launched in 2014, also containing 150 parts and 3 minifigures. This one is bigger and more detailed than the previous set, first of all this bat cave itself is a little stronger and has some very nice prints. In addition to this, it has a simple Batmobile, with recurring appearances of Batman, Joker, and Robin. Overall, though, the set doesn't appeal to adult gamers.
76183 Batcave: The Riddler™
This 2021 set comes with 581 parts and 6 minifigures. But this nice set may cause some controversy, in fact it's not really a bat cave, it's more like a bat subway station. Most of the parts in the set were used to build an abandoned subway station. There is a small Batmobile in the set.
76122 Mud faces invade the bat cave
This 2019 Batcave set contains 1,037 parts and features not found in other sets, such as a large number of minifigure characters. The highlight of the set is a brick-built villain mud face, which isn't often seen in LEGO Batman sets. The details of the Batman center console in the middle of the Batcave are very realistic, and there are comic book versions of the Batcave details elsewhere.
6860 Bat Cave
This is the smallest non-Juniors teen minifigure proportions bat cave set, launched in 2012 and contains 690 parts and 5 minifigures. The design of the Batcave's central computer station and Batman's motorcycle is a bit shaky. The suit features Bane's drill rig and a very smooth descent platform, and the door under the computer that can actually slide shut, which greatly increases the gameplay features of this Batcave scene.
70909 Bat Cave Raid
This 2016 set is a recreation of the Batcave from the Lego Batman movie, and the set has many advantages and basically no disadvantages. It retains the iconic shape features of LEGO Cave while breaking the design in previous Bathole sets in a number of ways. The aisle on top of the central computer, the bat-shaped computer, the upgradable elevator platform, and the rotating Batman costume display stand are all unique features of this Batcave.
76052 Batman Classic TV Series – Bincave
This 2016 Batcave set is inspired by the classic Batman TV series from the 60s, with 2526 parts designed with almost all the characteristics of the Batcave in the TV series, such as a part of Wayne Manor above ground, machines and equipment that Batman and Robin use to defeat enemies or solve problems underground. The set contains 9 minifigures, an incredible number of them. Some people may find the dark beige cave color scheme a bit out of line with the bat cave, which is actually similar to the appearance of the cave in the TV series.
7783 Bat Cave: Invasion of Penguins and Freeze Man
The reason this set, which hit the market in 2006, is this position because it's the first Batcave set from the LEGO Group and a great set in its own right, with 1071 parts and 7 minifigures. Almost every LEGO Batcave set that comes out later draws inspiration from this set. The spacious layout feels like it's bigger than it actually is, and makes full use of the space to design details such as the bat computer, cell, spiral staircase, cannon, etc.
76252 Bat Cave – Shadowbox
Consisting of 3981 parts and including 7 minifigures, this set is not only the largest LEGO Batcave set, but also the largest Batman set and the largest LEGO DC set. In this Batcave set, the LEGO Group uses the concept of a shadowbox to create a square-framed Batcave display, which is more like a three-dimensional picture frame, in which objects are placed at different levels of depth to create a spatial effect. The interior of the Batcave offers some small game features. For example, chairs that can be rotated, roller shutters that can be opened and closed, and images on a computer screen can be interchangeable.
With the announcement of the LEGO 76252 Batcave Shadowbox, the largest Batman set ever, the number of sets about the Batcave officially released by LEGO over the years has reached 12. Nine of them are made to minifigure proportions, while the other three are DUPLO sets. Which one do you like best?
